Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured water-system risk assessment and water-hygiene monitoring services for its own and Berneslai Homes’ water systems. The work covers surveys to assess exposure to legionella bacteria from water systems and related activities, inspection and certification of system condition and safety, and advice on remedial action. It also includes scheduled monitoring of water tanks to reduce conditions that support bacterial growth, including temperature monitoring, water sampling, tank cleaning and disinfection. This is a specialist environmental safety and water-compliance service, combining risk assessment, building surveying, technical testing, consultancy, monitoring and tank cleaning. Delivery is across the Council’s water systems in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Lucion Services Ltd; the contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and is active. The award was made on 12 May 2026 following an above-threshold open procedure. One valid bid was received. The estimated value was £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 gross), while the award value was £155,454 excluding VAT (£186,544 gross). The contract period runs from 2 August 2026 to 1 August 2029, with one possible 12-month extension to 1 August 2030. Bidders could submit questions until 4 May 2026 and bids until 12 May 2026 at 11:00. Evaluation weighted price at 65%, quality at 30% and social value at 5%. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This contract indicates demand from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council for an integrated legionella and water-hygiene compliance service rather than a single testing activity. A credible competitor would need to assess varied council and housing-provider water systems, identify exposure risks, inspect and certify safety, and provide practical advice on system condition. It would also need operational capability for scheduled tank monitoring, accurate temperature measurement, water sampling, cleaning and disinfection, with reliable reporting that supports statutory compliance. Relevant experience in environmental safety, water-system risk assessment, technical testing, building surveying and tank cleaning would strengthen a future response. The requirement suits an SME able to combine qualified field teams, laboratory or sampling arrangements, monitoring systems and social-value delivery in one managed service.
